Use a 529 Plan to Offset Rising Education Costs
One of the most sound investments you can make to help pay for your child's higher education is by using a 529 plan. These funds grow in a tax-free environment, and generally have a 3-5% rate of return. The only catch is that all funds need to be used for higher education, and if not... there are monetary penalties imposed when withdrawn for other uses.
South Carolina has two Future Scholar 529 savings plans. The direct-sold plan is available only to South Carolina residents while the advisor-sold plan is sold nationally. The state’s prepaid tuition program is no longer accepting new enrollment.
| State Plan Name: | Future Scholar 529 College Savings Plan |
|---|---|
| Minimum Contribution: | $0 |
| Maximum Contribution: | Contributions are restricted by beneficiary, so you can contribute to multiple people, but the maximum to a single beneficiary, across all of their 529 accounts, cannot be more than $500,000. |
| Fees: | Vary by portfolio, but there are no account or program management fees |
